User blog:LegionZero/DMC HD Collection for PS4/XBONE/PC will be garbage.

As much as i love DMC, i feel this has to be said. The new Devil May Cry Collection is garbage, and here is why:

1) No real graphical improvement: the games will be retextured but the polygon count will stay pretty much the same as before and on current gen consoles will look like a blocky mess. There isnt even 4K support, which is a standard in game dev now. The collection wont even be up to industry standards. The menus will remain in 4:3 ratio and the CG cutscenes will not be revamped, and will look just as bad on an HD screen as they did in the original HD Collection.

2) No new story content: None of the games will have additional cutscenes. These could/should include DMC1: Possible Yamato destruction. DMC2: god knows this game needs better storytelling. DMC3: Death & corruption of Vergil. Possible Yamato destruction. Death of Kalina Ann.

3) No gameplay improvement: DMC1 needs: Devil Arm & gun switching A lock on indicator MISSION SELECT. These are some basic and the easiest functions to include that the game desperately needs. It could also benefit from Playable Trish or Nelo Angelo Unique properties for Yamato.

DMC2 will have the same garbage combo system, bad lock-on system, and crap enemy AI. We wont be getting new costumes or characters. There will be no new weapons or combos. DMC2 NEEDS CHANGES TO ALMOST ALL OF THESE.

DMC3 wont have new characters, costumes, or movesets. The game needs Lady as a playable character. Vergil needs more Styles and his moveset expanded. He also needs Mundus as a boss. Dante should be a boss for both of them. Dante should have his DMC2 costume added to the game.

Capcom already has all of the assets necessary to make most of these things happen. They have the models, animations, and menu framework. Unfortunately they will not put any effort into enhancing these games' experiences and we as fans will end up with just another copy of the games most have bought at least twice before. And i promise none of us really wanted to add DMC2 to our game library a 2nd time.

Instead of follwing in the footsteps of Atlus(Catherine: Full Body) or Nintendo (Bayonetta 1 Wii U & Bayonetta 2 for Switch) and adding new story content and/or gameplay content, Capcom will be giving us another half-assed, semi-remastered rererelease. Even the boxart is halfassed. The fanbase deserves a lot more than what Capcom has been giving us and the series needs a lot more love than they have been giving. It seems like every new instalment into the series since DMC4 is a cheap cash grab, and this rererelease feels like the epitome of it all.
